We care deeply about your well-being, and safety and security are top priorities on the High Point University campus.
We wanted to share that earlier today, President Qubein held an emergency preparedness meeting with multiple campus teams to ensure HPU is ready to manage any impact from Hurricane Dorian.
Our dedicated team will work tirelessly to ensure the campus is operating smoothly even in the middle of a potential storm. We work closely with all city personnel to access their resources and experience in the case of an emergency. Below are links to resources you may find helpful.
While forecasts currently call for relatively uneventful weather at HPU, we remain vigilant in preparing for the storm. We do want to provide you with a few campus preparation updates:
- Our Emergency Management Team is communicating with Guilford County Emergency Management during daily meetings now and throughout the week to ensure the most accurate information.
- Transportation is ensuring that all vehicles stay fueled ahead of and during any impacts brought by the storm.
- Out of an abundance of caution, we have a large supply of bottled water in storage on campus.
- Additionally, there are 18 strategically placed generators throughout campus. All generators received preventative maintenance this summer.
We take the storm seriously and want to remind students from around the United States that High Point is located three hours inland from the coast of North Carolina.
